Lions set for talks with Kandol
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett is keen to resolve the future of striker Tresor Kandol, who is on loan from Leeds, in the near future.
Lions eye Tres deal
Leeds United look set to cash in on Tresor Kandol after Millwall confirmed their interest in extending the striker's stay in London.
Millwall manager Kenny Jackett is planning talks with his Leeds counterpart Simon Grayson about the future of Kandol, whose half-season loan at the New Den expires later this month.
Kandol's future in the balance
The future of striker
Tresor Kandol looks increasingly likely to lie away from Elland Road.
Kandol is on loan at United's League One rivals Millwall, where he has scored eight goals in 17 league outings this season, and the London club confirmed this week that they want to keep the striker beyond the end of his loan deal on January 28.
The 27-year-old has a contract with Leeds which runs until the summer of 2011 but as many as six strikers – including new recruit Lee Trundle – are ahead of him in the selection order at Elland Road, and Leeds United boss Simon Grayson suggested that he would consider any serious bids for Kandol this month.
Grayson said: "I've got people doing scouting reports on him and telling me what his progress has been like at Millwall.
"If Millwall want to buy him then we'll have to consider that but he's a player I'm aware of and I know what his strengths are. We'll keep assessing him on a daily and weekly basis to see how he gets on."
Under the terms of Kandol's loan deal, Leeds are unable to recall him early from Millwall unless they agree to sell him to another club.
